Episode notes
70/30 Rule For Stable Yet Adaptive Practice
- Jozef Frucek uses a 70/30 rule: 70% of practice solidifies core skills and 30% explores external inputs to refresh practice.
- Too much switching (50/50) creates instability while 100% isolation breeds stagnation or false claims of invention.
Practice As A Lifelong Source Of Meaning
- The deepest motivation for practice is to enjoy life more and stay interested through struggle, not just external outcomes.
- Long-term practice reveals ever-smaller details so the practice itself becomes a universe of meaning.
Intentionally Add Ineffective Variability
- Include intentionally ineffective or irregular movement to provide proprioceptive variability and protect joints.
- Regularly add unpredictable movement to reduce chronic inflammation and overuse injuries.
